Post Reply - Nu Metal: Nu Kids on the Block

Love it or hate it, you can't deny at least some good stuff has come from it. Of course it also can't be denied that the genre has produced some of the most detested music from the past few decades, but here we'll shine a light on those bands that go above and beyond the genre's call of duty, and surprisingly make some damn good music. So due to it's inflammatory nature it's obvious there will be some...er...dispute about the quality of the whole of nu metal (as a genre), but I also wish this thread to show off the good side of the it as well as the bad. 

Let's start out with something a bit simple. Staind. They were really considered "nu" in their early days, moving on to shift to a more alt oriented output with 2001's Break the Cycle. There are still elements of it on their third album.
